Remember when Rodgers tried to warn Van Gaal about the premiership, talking about how we only need 2 defenders, in addition to getting cocky about conceding less goals? It's all come back to bite him in the backside - who would have predicted it? The club should put a ban on him speaking. It's embarrassing.
With top 4 looking extremely unlikely, 1 top 4 finish in 3 seasons is far from good enough with the money he's spent. He has to go in my opinion.

Obviously a disappointing day, but why say this now it's so easy after a defeat, also remember the club didn't help Rodgers by selling our best player last season.
22 Mar 2015 19:53:18
they gave him money to replace him and he failed to do so so not sure why you are blaming the club Mighty Reds
22 Mar 2015 19:53:58
But the club helped BR giving him vast amounts of money.

I am not saying that Rodgers has not spent money, and some of his buys have not been great but also you need to keep your best players and let that group grow, I am not saying that Rodgers is perfect but he should be judged at the end of the season, it was our first defeat in the league since December, still a lot of football to be played yet let's have some perspective.
{Ed002's Note - Suarez was desperate to leave Liverpool, got involved in racial and biting issues (twice) being given three lengthy bans. He dragged the name of the club through the mud and spent more than a year trying to work out an exit - even preferring to go to Arsenal. He threatened the club with legal action - something he has done before. You should be more than glad the runt has gone from the club.}

I am still not sure LVG did better job than BR this season based on who we lost last summer and how much money we spent. If Sanches would come to us or we could afford to buy Di Maria we were above them today. let's wait to the end of the season adn also see what we do in the FA cup. BR did a great job in 2015 despite today, even his greatets critics will have to admit that (I used to be one of them). Taking the FA cup will be good enough for me to keep him even if the leage campaign wasn't a success.

He's only had a quarter billion to spend, AG- not really all that much now is it?
22 Mar 2015 22:28:10
Steph 1, replace Suarez with who? Which player, that was available and willing to come to Liverpool, would have been a replacement? A 30+ goal scorer who would also create 10+ goals for others to score?

We've been through the 'who else could we have bought' nonsense a million times already. There are loads of very good players to be had in world football, yet apparently the best we could agree on was the guy who does what he wants.
23 Mar 2015 02:25:33
Spot on, Fano! Really easy to kick a man when he is down. I bet the same people giving him grief now are the same who hailed him as a genius. Granted he did not perform tactically and got out coached today but to use such BS to berate him now when we all need to stick together, is cowardly, IMO. Let's wait and see at the end of the season.

Ed002 - we couldn't keep him if he was desperate to go I agree but i don't think there is one fan that would be extatic to see him back with us. As far as I am concerned he could have run with only his underwear in the streets of London 3 times a week shouting obseinity about liverpool the city of the club or otherwise. if he had been willing to stay I would give him as much money he asks for plus captaincy and job for life in the club. No better way to demonstrate the difference between us with and without him than the MAnU games. 2:0 to us last year, 2:0 to them this year. And yes this is what matters.
{Ed002's Note - It shows the new breed of Liverpool fan I guess. In days of yore the hobnail-booted Liverpool fans would have donned their cloth caps and ridden any player who had dragged the club in to the gutter and threatened court action whilst trying to engineer a move to Arsenal out of town on a rail.}
